Expression, Purification, and Small Molecule Binding to Cysteine Sulfinic Acid Decarboxylase
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Cysteine Sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD) is a PLP-dependent enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of taurine. It converts cysteine sulfinic acid (CSA) into hypotaurine. Hypotaurine is later oxidized into taurine, one of ... -
Mammalian CSAD and GADL1 have distinct biochemical properties and patterns of brain expression
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11)Variants in the gene encoding the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase like 1 (GADL1) have been associated with response to lithium therapy. Both GADL1 and the related enzyme cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD) have ...
